Hello All, new member here! Just wondering why it’s been so difficult to find a non-electric (no pick up) cutaway tenor under $400. I’ve found only 2 so far. Is there a reason other than perhaps not being a popular combo? Thanks for helping!

Welcome to our forum!
My Bonanza Oreo is tenor, cutaway, and non-pickup. It cost $389.
I was surprised when you said that, but now you mention it there
s only one sub-£400 non-electric cutaway tenor listed at Southern Ukulele Store

I guess it's because cutaway just looks more electric so there's not so much demand for it without.

Check eBay for tenor ukulele cutaway. Bruce Wei Arts makes them, I have a number of his ukes with which I'm very happy.
8 tenor cutaway ukes, 5 acoustic bass ukes, 10 solid body bass ukes, 7 mini electric bass guitars

One of the most beautiful best sounding ukuleles I own is a cutaway Midland tenor. Solid mahogany at $279.50. https://shop.mainlandukuleles.com/product.sc?productId=61&categoryId=3
Here is a review I posted on both the Uke and Mainland Uke where I purchased it. A little lengthy and I had the MiSi pickup installed but that’s your choice. I hope this helps.

Thank you all for the welcome, and the great recommendations! The BonanzaÂ’s are new to me and seem worth a real look and listen. IÂ’ve looked into the Bruce Wei ukes, but havenÂ’t heard the best things about them. I am leaning heavily toward a mainland mahogany cutaway slotted headstock tenor w/o rope binding. When I make my decision IÂ’ll let yÂ’all know. Thanks again!!

Thanks spaceuke2, I hope if you go with the Mainland you enjoy yours as much as I have mine. Wes

I guess I'm always ready to defend Bruce Wei ukes since I've had such good experiences with his ukes. The bad reviews are from a few years ago when he sold other builders ukes on his eBay store, but stopped that when people thought those ukes were his builds.
